Abstract

In many shoulder joint diseases, there is often a combination of long head biceps tendon（LHBT）pathology. Biceps pathology is one of the main causes of shoulder pain, and it is effectively managed with tenodesis. Biceps tenodesis can be performed in a variety of ways with different fixation and at different locations. This article introduces an all-arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis technique with a 2-suture anchor. Double 360° Lasso Loop is used to fix the biceps tendon, and only one puncture of the biceps tendon was required, which caused little damage to the tendon and was not easy for the suture to slip and fail.
